About This Quote

Culture does not make people. People make culture. Culture is something that is created by the people within it. It can be anything from clothing to music to traditions.

If it is true that the full humanity of women is not our culture, then we can and must make it our culture. Despite how hard it can be, trying to change culture for the better will bring about greater joy in life than staying in the roles that are given to us.
